Whenever your GO is docked on the FM
Transmitter Mount, this button is shown in the
Driving View.
Tap this button at any time to start or stop the
FM Transmitter Mount transmitting sound,
and to change the frequency that the Mount is
using.

station transmits on the frequency you are using

change the frequency you use.
Tips
• You cannot search automatically for a
frequency that is not being used by a
radio station. You need to search
manually on your car radio.
• When you search for a frequency not
being used by a radio station, try to find
one that has no interference at all. Any
noise that you can hear from a radio
station will interfere with the reception.
• When you find a frequency, store it in
your radio so that you can find it again
easily.
